I intend to buy early.
Now; my lad will be 17 when I buy the tickets, but 18 in May.
So, is getting him an U18 ticket a no-no?
More to the point are we now obliged to vacate our current seats in the Family Stand?
excellent news. Let's hope it inspires lapsed season ticket holders to return. So far the Board has made some big decisions and got them all right in my opinion. Long may it continue.
The age cut-off for each season is August 1st - lucky if you're 18 on July 31st, unlucky if you're 60 on August 2nd.
On the point about the price cut being a commercial decision, it obviously is but for the medium term. We worked out that based on the current distribution of season tickets across areas of the ground and age ranges the reduction would probably need a 15 per cent uplift in season-ticket sales by volume to pay for itself - and then of course you lose some match ticket revenue. It's anyone's guess if it will have that effect and we'll never know anyway. In the medium term it's better to keep people in the habit of coming so they buy a season ticket the following year too.

A lot of people are suffering now, and this will be a help. If only a few more people are persuaded by it, then it's a hit as far as I am concerned.
It really feels like there is some momentum building up behind this club again now.
Exciting times.
Might be different if we go up.
